Visualisation with the use of TMS320C6657

Alexander Purgin

Hello.

I'm new to DSP's and I've worked only with MCU's so far, so I'm completely lost and will appreciate any sort of advice.

Apart from processing large amounts of data I need to visualize 4 processed signals at one's and make a very very simple GUI. Can it be done with a TMS320C6657 DSP? Do I need an ARM processor or an MCU apart from C6657? If I can use TMS320C6657 then what is the best way to connect an LCD 7'' 640x480 (with an LCD controller) to the TMDSEVM6657LS evaluation board? I think only EMIF and uPP can potentially be used for that, am I right?

Any help is appreciated,

Alexander.

    Alexander,

    Welcome to the TI E2E forum. I hope you will find many good answers here and in the TI.com documents and in the TI Wiki Pages. Be sure to search those for helpful information and to browse for the questions others may have asked on similar topics.

    It will help you to go to TI.com and look at the Applications tab. Look through the list of application categories and find a couple of them that may be similar to what you want to do. Then look through the detailed applications within those categories to get ideas about ways to implement your plan.

    It sounds like you are saying that you have worked with processors that had exactly the set of peripherals that you wanted to use, like video ports and such. Since the C6657 does not have a video port, why did you choose it?

    The C6657 has a lot of processing power that you can use for many applications. It can run C code and move data and has a variety of peripheral I/O ports.

    I think EMIF and uPP can potentially be used for that, but I would not say "only". And you will have to do the engineering analysis to determine if you can connect them the way you want or get them to work the way you want.

    We can help you with specific questions, but we are not the ones who can design your application and hand it to you. But I do look forward to hearing your analysis and answering what specifically you need to know.

    Regards,
    RandyP

    Thank you for your answer, RandyP.

    I chose C6657 because I need to process vast arrays of measurement data. 

    With my question I just wanted to be sure if I'm going in the right direction. Now I'll look closer to determine what can be done with that.
